From Scotty's foster parents.
It’s been 5 months since we officially started fostering Scotty, but about 6 months since someone dumped him near the gym and he hopped right into my car. He knew who the sucker was…lol 😂
First, this big boy just wants to love and be loved. He is incredibly goofy, SMART, and always wants to be where his people are. ❤️
Here’s what we’ve learned about him:
🐾 Age: Estimated 5–6
🐾 Weight: 70 lbs — down 10 healthy lbs!
🐾 Neutered & UTD on vaccines: Yes
🐾 Dog friendly: Yes, but no small dogs. He needs calm introductions. He does great with our 35 lb beagle mix!
🐾 Cat friendly: Hard pass. 😅 This is the only reason we cannot adopt him ourselves.
🐾 New people: Scotty can be unsure at first and isn’t always immediately affectionate. Give him a little time, though, and his goofy, loving personality comes out. ❤️
🐾 Crate trained: Yes! He may need patience adjusting to it in a new home. We’ve also left him and our dog out for short periods while we are away and he’s done great.
🐾 Kids: Limited experience, but he’s done well with the two children he’s met.
Scotty LOVES adventures, car rides, walks, playing outside and being wherever his people are! He went on a weekend adventure to Canaan Valley with us and had the BEST time. Was even complimented by strangers for being a good boy.
WHAT HE NEEDS: A fenced-in yard and a family who understands that he may need a little time and patience. Someone who isn’t expecting an instant connection, but is willing to let him build one.
He just needs people who will keep showing him what love is while helping him become more comfortable around new people, dogs and experiences. ❤️
Six months ago, Scotty hopped into my car without knowing where he was going. I’d really love for his next ride home to be the one that takes him to his forever family. 🐾❤️
